Q:Use your favorite search engine to locate the Mars Student Imaging Project Web site and then explore the site to learn more about the project. Which internet technologies make this project possible for students located in the united states?
Search Engine used: Google

Technologies that make this project possible is the Distance Learning Format of MSIP which provides students from across the United States with the opportunity to conduct their research at their school site and by periodically connecting to staff at the Mars Space Flight Facility via internet, video and/or teleconferences.My audience is for students interested in anything involving space. Students that have goals in life to be a scientist or work somewhere big like NASA. Also they can conduct their research without ever leaving their school site

The Boolean word that I used were “and” “or”. The URL is http://marsed.mars.asu.edu/msip-home
The website seems to be safe and neat. There is no advertisements of games or prizes you can win(spam). It’s all professional and safe for anyone to use, which is good because in that case we won't have to worry about viruses or anything getting into our PC or anything.


Advance in distant learning Question 2
Part 1:
1.
Question #2.
Q. Use your search engine to explore distance learning opportunities at your own school or at other colleges and universities in your area. How do these programs compare to the Mars Student Imaging Project? Which Internet technologies make these programs possible? Are all students able to participate in distance learning programs? Why or Why not?

A. ECOT is one program very similar to the Mars Student Imaging Project. One way they are alike is that you do them via internet or teleconference. Another similarity is that you can do them anywhere that you have access to internet to. The technology that makes this possible is internet and internet devices. All students are able to participate in distance learning programs as long as they have internet access. They can because you do not have to go to the place in person to sign up for it.
2. My audience are students.

Group 2-Advances in Distant Learning Question 3

(3.) My question was:1.Based on your findings,determine other ways schools can use the Internet to enhance the education of grade school and college students. 2.Are there technological impediments that prevent this method of learning? If so,what are they? 3.What advantages do these types of programs offer students and educators? Provide your responses in a report for your instructor.

1.They can give each student a computer so when their at home and needs to ask the teacher a question the can just email or video chat them instead of them waiting till the next day. They can have teachers from around the world and have a video chat class with the students.
2.I could not find any technological impediments that prevent this method of learning. I believe that everyone says that kids should be aloud to use technology to learn.
3. They offer students science fiction books and movies, and our use of equipment such as automobiles, telephones, computers, and automatic teller machines. external image hyqnYClx6m0uZzz6M6b4oTvcmAtTSs7aQJc_ByuQI6JBDb1ld7EfQwXjCQlodfIBflhdgsOPqr-xJ1nqSUWDGZ0kTgqg5sq9l32519UtJEvjqY6Ew2k
